Guided Reading Venn Diagram

Melissa Kozerski — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 02:40:15 +0000

This is a great lesson to teach when you are implementing guided reading groups at the beginning of a new school year. This interactive lesson gives the opportunity to teach the expectations of the teacher and the students in a guided reading group. I like to use two hoola hoops to create our Venn diagram, just like shown in the picture.

When the Venn diagram is complete, I like to take a picture of it. I photocopy the picture and have my students glue it in their reader’s notebook. I also place the picture on an anchor chart next to my guided reading bulletin board. Whenever a student needs a reminder about one of the expectations, I just refer to the anchor chart as a friendly reminder of our lesson.

***This file is included in my Teacher Reading Binder resource as well. Per customer request, I am also selling this lesson separately!!***

Learning Targets- Post your “I Can” learning targets in a creative way.

Learning Targets-a-Palooza File includes:

1. A PDF of learning colorful and cute learning target posters for you to print and laminate. Also includes a few templates for writing learning targets for your guided reading and guided math groups.

2. Part of this PDF also includes, “Swimming skills!” which I use as a formative assessment when introducing a new learning target. These colorful, kid-friendly posters relate learning a new topic to swimming, which most student can find a connection with. When introducing a new learning target, my student self assess their “swimming skills!” and then revisit and the end of the lesson/chapter/topic. (31 pages)

3. A Powerpoint file of the learning targets, which allows you to add a text box to type and customize your own learning targets, which can then be projected onto a Smartboard or whiteboard. (10 pages)

4. A PDF explaining the use of S.T.A.R. notebooks and S.T.A.R. folders with your students. I explain how I use these notebooks and folders as a way to establish and maintain a home/school connection. (21 pages)

5. A Powerpoint file of the S.T.A.R. notebook and S.T.A.R. folder cover pages, which allows you to add a text box to customize. (4 pages)
